I thought I would take a break from processing Texas Wildflowers<\/a> and show something a little bit different. Yes, there is a Gregg’s Mistflower<\/a> (Conoclinium greggii) under the Queen Butterfly but let’s focus on the butterfly. I was taking a break on one of the benches at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center during one of my recent trips to the Center when I noticed butterflies landing on the flowers out in the field. It provided a great opportunity for a nice blurry background since there was great separation between the subject and the background. I headed over with my gear after a few minutes of rest.\u00a0I was trying to photograph the butterflies on full display when I noticed this one \u00a0butterfly peeking over the top. So, I focused on it and snapped this photograph.<\/p>\n

Butterflies are attracted to a variety of plants including Gregg’s Mistflower flowers. Other flowers that attract butterflies include Purple Coneflower,\u00a0White Mistflower, Indian Blanket,\u00a0Gayfeather,\u00a0Frosted,\u00a0Golden Eye Daisy, Texas Kidneywood, Horsemint,\u00a0Elbowbush,\u00a0Turk\u2019s Cap,\u00a0Phlox,\u00a0Texas Lantana and\u00a0Bee Brush.<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Sony A7R II Digital Camera<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Sony 90mm f\/2.8 Macro Lens<\/a>. The camera was set on\u00a0Manual\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/8, shutter speed at 1\/250th of a second and the ISO set at 400. I used only natural light to light the subject.\u00a0This is a single image processed in Lightroom and Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
